contest winners, new feature announcements

I was just wondering if you were hiring someone ? I am related to Elizabeth Barret Browning and Robert Browning .

Hi Annie,

I submitted a poem yesterday named “The Amber Nichole”. Then I was arranging my poems in order in my profile and it dropped off the list, now I can’t find it! Please, tell me that you got it! I’m finished editing it if you find it go ahead and post it, and I’ll put it back in my profile. When are you going to fix it so we can keep all our poems in our profile? It’s beginning to be a hassle to keep up with them all.

I’ve resubmitted my poem “The Amber Nichole.” However, all my friends and family had already voted for the first one I submitted while it was still in my profile. I believe there were 32 votes cast, all 10’s. Could you transfer those votes to the one I have in my profile now, or do I have to contact everyone and have them resubmit their votes?

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your interest, but we are not hiring at this time. You can find jobs for Lulu posted on our site at http://www.lulu.com/jobs.
Thank you,
Annie

Hi Timothy,
Even though your poem is not listed in your profile, it should still be on the site and available for rating and the contest. There is a bug that only allows 15 poems to be shown on your profile page, but if you have written more poems than that they are still on the site. We expect this bug to be fixed soon, and then all your poems will show in your profile.

We cannot combine the ratings for your two poems. I would suggest directing your friends to all rate the same poem.

Thank you,
Annie

That’s odd, because I’ve tried pulling it up by title, and it was not on the first 15 pages. Then I tried pulling it up by my name, and it wasn’t on any of those pages either. So how am I supposed to find it? Usually my name alone produces all my poem in the first 4 pages. The same thing happened to “truth”. However, after three days, it finally appeared by entering my name. I think that you have more than just a single “Bug” at play here.

Hi Timothy,
I was able to pull up both versions of your poem in the first page of results by searching for “amber nichole” (with quotes). Our search index is updated once a day, so new poems can take up to 24 hours to appear in search results.
Thank you,
Annie

Hi Annie,how can people read my poems and rate them when they have no way to look them up? When I go to my account I only see about 15 of my poems and it should be over 60.Nick was kind enough to get me back on the site when I lost my password. As I said the people need a way to find my poems.Nick did send me a list of all my poems to be sure they were mine and they were.I told Nick there is no way for people to see my poems but its still the same way.Annie pleaseeee let me know something.I need all of my poems to be seen and a way to see them and rate them.Take care and have a great day and manyyyy more.

Hi Art,
There is currently a bug on the site that only shows 15 poems on your profile page, but all of your poems are still available on the site for reading and rating. We are working on the problem and plan to have it fixed soon, so that all of your poems will show up in your profile list.
Thank you,
Annie

Hello,
I have submitted a poem Promise and again as Promise to Jayne. The only way I can access this poem, it seems, is via my account where my two poems are listed. I cannot find my poems on RSS feed nor can I find it by looking at pages in the poem’s category, love. I don’t see how anyone can read my poem if the only way to access it is via my account.

How can I access my poem without having to enter my account page first?

Thank you,
phaon

No one congratulated me just asked for jobs, or complained about something…lol

To the guy who asked about his all 10 votes, well you could have 1000 all 10 votes but it won’t matter, the judges elect the winners out of the top voted poems, like me for instance my stuff is rated 7.7 I think but the judges elected my poem which I did not expect, anyways if any of you or downrating poems so you can have higher scores your just wasting your time, like I said it’s not a popularity contest the judges decide who wins not the voters, the voters only let your stuff be submitted to the judges.

Annie I have a question what happens to the poems that win, do they get put into a blog or something, I’ve read stuff about it being published, but I don’t have nearly enough poems to publish anything.
